Nintendo Wii MEGATHREAD!

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

I've finally Homebrewed my Wii and have Tatsunoko vs Capcom on the way. Hopefully comes in tomorrow. Also ordered No More Heroes (for bloody goodness) and Tales of Symphonia 2 from Canada since our dollar is doing relatively well against it.

HUZZAH! Godd work Stompy! You wont regret it!!

No more heroes blood, I found so excesive, I wondered why they cut it out of oz version instead of just giving the game an MA rating

Tatsunoko ROCKS!

I wanna know if Madworld is gonna be hacked to bits in aus or not. Looks interesting. I really like the black and white!

I actually just got Tatsunoko vs Capcom in the mail today at work. I can't wait to get home. So much fighting goodness this week, with Street Fighter 4 as well. The process for Homebrewing was simple TC, but it took me a while to figure out where to put what in the SD Card.

No More Heroes was purposefully done to be only bloody for the US version. The Japanese and European PAL versions were blood-less. This was a conscious decision by the creator, I think to highlight the bloodlust the US has for their games.

Madworld has been given the green light by the OFLC (Australian Classification board) and will not be getting any sort of censoring or cuts. Which is good news. I guess the art style and cartoon-like excessive violence isn't realistic enough for the censors.

Good stuff Stompy.

The TW Hack is easy.

I wonder what that says about me wanting the bloody version of heroes?

No cutting on Madworld hey? Cool! But the OFLC have some major inconsistencies. I usually see the ratings for movies and sometimes they don't justify the rating. Kil Bill "R"? Zack and Miri make a Porno "R"?!?!? It only got an R coz it has the word Porno in the title. Bet if it didnt it would scrape in as an MA movie.....

Yeah, I don't understand their decisions neither. But at least Madworld made it unscathed. Speaking of which, JB Hifi has a Madworld pre-order bonus of the Soundtrack for the game:



Also only $69.

TvC is awesome. While not quite in the dizzying heights that MvC2 reached, this is a very promising start and I guess the sequel will be bloody jam packed with even more characters. Also the sphere boss had my head scratching as it was really familiar. Until I realised it was the final boss in Okami. I was chuffed.

Woo thats not bad for a new game. I like JB Hifi. If there was a more local one to me...

It took me a while to realise that last guy in TvC was from Okami as well(I couldn't stop playing that game when I got it. Its a shame that it didn't seem to sell well here). Just a shame that Ammy isn't a playable character in TvC. I think she would be great, with all the brush options as well as the floaty sword.

House of the Dead: Overkill tomorrow, getting me the box set with the guns, groovy.

As am I. First thing I'm going to do tomorrow is head out to JB Hi-Fi and get me some zombie killing action. Unless it was a pre-order bonus but it didn't list it as one on the website, so I'm hoping I can just drop by and grab one off the shelf.

[Gutsman Heavy]

Its a special ed, so it'll be on the shelf, or at the counter.

I just picked up my Bang Bang Box set.

The guns are quite nice, the rubber feel of the handle is great and so is the trigger (nice and light).

The only problem I've found with the gun is that the barrel is a bit long and because of this, the weight distribution is towards the front of the gun so it takes a while to get used to.

I only had a quick play with the game. There are some technical issues as other reviews have pointed out - the worst I've encountered so far is a bit of lag - it seems as if the Wii is being pushed to it's limits, so don't expect smooth gun movement.

[piratescratch]

Well I've picked up my Bang Bang Box.







I have to agree with funkyaw, the hand cannon is a bit front heavy which does tire out the wrist. I think I might grab a Nyko Perfect Shot, any stores in Melbourne which currently have them in stock? Or anyone want to recommend a good online store which sells them (paypal preferred).
